Privacy Policy

At Someecards we believe information privacy is an important issue. Therefore, we have developed the following policy. This policy may be updated, revised and re-posted from time to time. This policy applies to all visitors to Someecards.com. By visiting Someecards, and any other linked pages, features, content, or application services offered from time to time by Someecards in connection therewith (collectively, the "Site"), or using any of our services, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.

WE COLLECT INFORMATION, BUT WE RESPECT INDIVIDUAL PRIVACY

We collect certain personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") to facilitate card sends, card pickups, and the personalization of our Site. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as answering questions, sending product updates, fulfilling orders for Someecards merchandise, targeting advertisements to you, and communicating with you about our products and services, including specials and new features. The types of Personal Information we may collect include:

E-mail Addresses:

We do not use the e-mail address contained in an E-Card for direct marketing purposes nor do we compile e-mail addresses to build mailing lists to sell to or share with marketers. We do use these addresses to facilitate card delivery and to assist in card pickups. E-mail addresses are also used help protect a recipient's privacy right to know the identity of a card sender. We also have an e-mail newsletter and periodically send e-mails to our subscribers. When you receive e-mail or our newsletter from Someecards, you can opt out of receiving further communications by following the included instructions to unsubscribe.

IP addresses and Information Shared with Card Recipients:

Someecards is not intended as to be used as an anonymous mail service. Card senders share with card recipients certain information beyond the notes they include with their cards, including e-mail addresses and IP addresses. IP ADDRESSES OF CARD SENDERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE E-MAIL MESSAGE HEADER OF ALL CARDS TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF CARD RECIPIENTS AND TO PROTECT CARD RECIPIENTS FROM ANONYMOUS ABUSE OR HARASSMENT. Under certain circumstances, recipients, their legal representatives, and/ or law enforcement authorities may be able to combine this with information disclosed by ISPs to determine the source of a particular communication. By using the Site, you knowingly and voluntarily assume any risks associated with such disclosure. This is necessary to facilitate card delivery and to protect the privacy of card recipients.

Summary Demographics:

Demographic and profile data is also collected at our Site. We use this data to tailor a visitor's experience at our Site -- displaying content that might interest visitors, and displaying content according to visitor preferences. Generally, our Site automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Someecards only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the Site so that we can make the Site appealing to as many customers as possible, and improve our services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our Site or services. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use the Site, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Someecards never discloses aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.

Cookies:

Cookies may be set upon users' browsers during Site visits, both by Someecards.com and its advertisers. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our Site are visited and by how many people. Our Site may use cookies to track user sessions and to gather Site usage statistics. We also may use cookies to save your Site customization preferences and to save user passwords so they don't have to be re-entered upon each site visit.

Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies may enable you to take advantage of some of our Site's most attractive features.

Ads appearing on the Site may be delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Someecards and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Someecards may release Personal Information to legal, corporate or internet authorities if there is reasonable suspicion that an individual has not complied with our Terms of Service. Examples of such non-compliance include the use of our card system for harassment, SPAM, profanity, pornographic dissemination or illegal activity. We may release your Personal Information to comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order; to protect the company's rights and property; to investigate reports of users sending material using a false e-mail address or users sending harassing, threatening, or abusive messages; to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website and/ or the Someecards.com service; or during emergencies, such as when we believe someone's physical safety is at risk.

Additionally, we employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you.
